NASHVILLE, TN… June 25, 2025 - GRAMMY-nominated, award-winning artist
Forrest Frank is making lemonade out of lemons with a new track inspired by a serious
skateboarding injury last weekend that resulted in multiple back fractures. Putting his pain into the creation of "
GOD'S GOT MY BACK," Frank documented the intimate and vulnerable process of the track's creation from bed in
videos that have clearly resonated, having amassed nearly 30M combined views and over 15k organic UGC in just 3 days.
When asked by a fan, "How will you make fire music with a broken back, bro?" Frank decided to find out, taking the question to heart and creating the track in about two hours while laying in bed - flat on his back.
The lyrics speak to the full spectrum of emotions from his situation, singing "God’s got my back, even when I fall or get attacked; God's got my back, even when I’m low and full of lack, God’s got my back; Even when soul is full of sorrow, I don't have to worry about tomorrow; Why is that, because Gods got my back; Right there, never left, I can feel your presence in every single breath, sometimes we just got to take a rest; flowers like to bloom in the season that is best."
Frank has been on a break following his completely sold out "CHILD OF GOD II" Arena Tour andthe release of hisCHILD OF GOD IIalbum, whichdebuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and No. 12 on Billboard's Top 200 Album Chart.
At radio, Frank currently has two songs in the Top 25 on the Mediabase and Billboard Christian radio charts with “Your Way’s Better” leading the way at No. 6 Mediabase Christian AC and No. 8 on Mediabase Christian Audience with 96 total stations on. At Billboard Christian AC, the song broke into the TOP 5 and is currently No. 7, while on Billboard Christian Airplay the song is currently No. 8. “Nothing Else” featuring Thomas Rhett has broken into the TOP 25 at Mediabase Christian AC (No. 25) and is No. 26 on Billboard Christian AC with 39 stations on. Frank’s weekly radio airplay impressions have risen from 7.3M in April 2025 to 13.5M as of July 23, 2025.
ABOUT FORREST FRANK:
Forrest Frank acknowledges the weight of his words, deeds, and actions within his artistry. The award-nominated Texas-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist approaches life and music with gratitude and intent. This mindset underscores his music, and it’s why his GRAMMY-nominated CHILD OF GOD was the best-selling Christian album of 2024.
The Houston-born singer, who’d temporarily put the idea of making solo music on the back burner to keep building on his band’s success, craved the freedom to make music just for himself again, and in 2021, a revelation inspired him to change course. Forrest opted to take a year off from touring, relocated to Waco, TX, and became a father.
Working completely independently, his self-described “simple worship song”—the powerful “NO LONGER BOUND” [feat. Hulvey]— opened up the floodgates, surging across social media, tallying north of 60.9 million Spotify streams and counting. He parlayed this momentum into CHILD OF GOD. Beyond performing on all 20 tracks, Forrest helmed the production, crafting an immersive ou anchored by elements of bright R&B, upbeat pop, and uplifting gospel. Thematically, he clung to a core message. “My whole brand was built around God, and I’m not going to change that—ever,” he affirms.
CHILD OF GOD soared to stratospheric heights upon arrival, capturing his first GRAMMY nomination, a Billboard Music Award (BBMA) finalist spot, a #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart, and within a few months’ time, tallied over 1 billion global streams. Given the runaway success, Billboard named him the #1 Top New Christian Artist of 2023, a 2024 BBMA finalist for Top Christian Artist. Concurrently, the signature “GOOD DAY” became a Christian radio hit, also named a BBMA finalist and won a DOVE Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, with Frank winning for “New Artist of the Year.” Last fall he released the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album featuring seven new tracks, including "YOUR WAY'S BETTER" and "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH" with Torey D’Shaun, as well as a new holiday original, "THE PRESENT." 2025 has seen the release of four new singles, "drop," "SUNRISE,” "NOTHING ELSE (with Thomas Rhett)," “NO L’s,” "CELEBRATION," and "AMEN." FRANK just wrapped his completely sold out "CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2,” and is experiencing the explosive viral growth of the track "YOUR WAY'S BETTER,” driven by a viral dance that's taken the internet by storm. His new album, CHILD OF GOD II, is out now.
